6 thoughts on “Time According To My 7 Year Old….”

Simone, I’ve had a lightbulb moment. Have you tried giving him a watch with a second hand on it and told him to follow the second hand as it goes around from 1 to 60 — and watch that it takes that long for the timer to change from 30 to 29.

I remember that long division was a complete mystery to me in primary school and then one day, in a millisecond flash, all of a sudden I got it!! Maybe Mr7 will be the same.

I suggest you give in on this. It’s only a minute and he’ll work it out himself eventually. He’s not being dogged about this — it actually shows he’s given it thought. So just say “Okay” and commend him on the fact that he’s pondered the time concept and come to a conclusion.
